All right, I've got a massive psychological operation. Really, it's a collusion between local fake stream CIA infiltrated Operation Mockingbird MK Ultra media and Louisiana State Police. See if you can spot it before I point it out. >> The WAFB I-Team of corruption watchdogs says the state's top law enforcement agency broke the law when it made a set of traffic tickets disappear. The man who got those tickets torn up is married to the secretary of the man who ran Louisiana State Police at the time. Tonight, there are questions about whether State Police knew this could be violating the law and how long it's been happening. Chief Investigator Chris Nakamoto is here now with the voided violation that's exposing what our watchdog calls a serious lapse at LSP. Chris, good evening. >> Good evening, Deion. The law is clear about how tickets must be handled once they're written, but the way State Police explained what happened here does not match what the law actually says. >> This traffic stop 1 year ago is raising renewed questions, not just about how the driver got off, but whether the state's premier law enforcement agency knew what a high-ranking commander did was likely illegal. It's June 2025 and state troopers notice a truck driving erratically in Assumption Parish. A trooper and a field training officer are at work when the stop is made. >> Is there a Trooper Geoffrey on Louisiana State Police? Reason I'm stopping you today is cuz you crossed >> over the center line about two different times. Any reason for that? >> Within seconds, the name dropping starts. The I-Team counted it happening twice. >> Whatever you're about to do is 100% fine with me. My wife is uh Robert administrator of the system. >> The Robert He's referring to is Colonel Robert Hodges, the head of Louisiana State Police at the time. The driver admits to drinking and admits to troopers an open container of vodka and water is in the vehicle. >> What a dumbass. He's part basically, essentially, his wife is part of the law enforcement community and he's going to admit to driving and erratic driving is crossing the fog line two times, but still wait for the punchline here. >> Body camera video shows a trooper pouring it out. >> You got to write me a ticket So I'm going to write you a ticket >> Okay, thank you. I appreciate >> All right, I'm going to give you a sign right here. We are we are citing you for It was open container, okay? >> That's fine. >> It's not an admission of guilt. And an assumption there's not a website you can really go to pay it on. So there's going to be a phone number you can call to pay it on or you can go to the court. >> As you heard, he got two tickets. One for improper lane use and another for open container. What happened next has raised serious questions. State police say the commander of Troop C voided the violation just hours later. By the By the way, the only reason they did that is because the trooper had a body and dash cam running because if the body and dash cam weren't running, they would have definitely let these people go. There wouldn't have been a ticket. There wouldn't have been a trace that there was even a stop. But the hypocritical part of this is if it were you and I, they would have already forced us to take a field sobriety test. If we didn't take it, we'd be in cuffs. We'd go to the station. Our car would be impounded. We'd have to post bail to get out. But it's not just the hypocritical part of it. What mainstream media is doing right here and what Louisiana State Patrol and the lawmakers are doing is saying, "Hey, it's okay to have these traffic laws. It's okay for an officer to pull these people over because they passed the fog line two or three times." How many times have you seen a trooper pass the fog line, drive erratically? I've seen troopers so many times drive 50 55 miles an hour over the speed limit. Uh just stay tuned though. >> Ink barely dry, the WAFBI team asked state police how many other open container tickets they've dismissed. Not very many was their response. >> Those tickets that were issued never made it to the prosecutor's office. >> Attorney Raphael Gwinnett Chief is a long-time corruption watchdog at the Metropolitan Crime Commission. >> And tickets given to you should never reach the prosecutor's office. As a matter of fact, those tickets shouldn't ever be issued. Why? Because issuing tickets is a policing for profit revenue generating scheme. Just in speeding tickets alone across all law enforcement, whether you're talking about sheriff's departments or police departments, generate 6.2 to 6.8 billion dollars every single year. They are incentivized to pull you over. They are incentivized to write you a ticket and all of these stops serve as a violation to the Fourth Amendment. You have a right to be secure in your persons, houses, papers, and effects, but the law says that under traffic law, they have the right to stop you and violate your right to be secure in your persons, houses, papers, and effects. And typically, a lot of these stops are protect pretextual stops where they go on a fishing expedition so they can look for something more. Maybe you've got drugs, maybe you violated the drug laws, maybe we can run your guns, maybe you violated a gun law. So, under the color of these traffic laws and these drug war laws and these gun laws, they're violating our rights. And this is this is the psychological operation of this episode right here is they're treating all these traffic laws like they're somehow legitimate and they aren't. They're very unconstitutional, no matter what the black robe tyrants of the Supreme Court say. >> That's code for saying that it never happens, okay? They couldn't think of They didn't have any stats on it happening ever before. >> State law specifically lays out exactly how tickets need to be adjudicated once they're issued. Louisiana Revised Statute 32:398-2 says it's unlawful for any traffic enforcement officer or any other officer or public employee to dispose of a traffic citation or copies thereof. Only a court can do that. >> Did State Police break the law by tossing this ticket? >> I mean it's it's very clear, you know, the language in this statute uses the word shall and not the word may. >> The WAFB I team found this is not the first time this issue has come up. In 2012, news reports indicate a sheriff in Caldwell Parish was prosecuted, charged with malfeasance in office after dismissing several traffic citations. The charges were ultimately downgraded so he could plead to mishandling five tickets. Jail time was suspended, but he had to pay upwards of $7,000 in lost revenue to the District Attorney. This same law was used back then in North Louisiana. We reached out to State Police to see if they even knew this law was on the books. A State Police spokesman responded the Troop C commander used his discretion in voiding the citations. >> And there you go. There's another layer of hypocrisy on this. They can always use their discretion. There's nothing stopping them from using discretion. Well, I guess there is one thing stopping them, the body camera and the dash cam. They make a record of this stuff, but they can always disappear those records and they can always initiate and entertain any kind of discretion against anybody at all times. You see them constantly going, "Hey, I'm just going to give you a warning." But typically when they do that, "Hey, I'm just going to write you a warning, why don't you come back to my vehicle?" And then they start asking you a bunch of questions while their buddy with the drug dog is rolling up on the scene so that they can create another situation where they can gum you up and jam you up even more. >> This is not ignorance of the law, you know, this was intentional. They know what they did was wrong. >> State police went on to say that it's not necessarily wrong in and of itself. Yeah, it's hypocritical. They're treating their own people better than they treat us. They treat their own people with preferential treatment while they throw the book at us. Yeah, that on that side it's hypocritical. But on the other side, these traffic laws are illegitimate because basically you put this massive power in the hands of a police department officer or a sheriff's department officer or a deputy so that they have an excuse, a justification to violate your rights under the color of traffic law. >> Decision to avoid the citations was based on three factors. The trooper early on in the traffic stop telling the driver he would get a warning and saying that ticket issued for improper lane usage should have actually been driving left of center. Gwinnett says none of that matters. State police never had the authority to make the call to make it all go away. >> And the fact that this ticket base or these tickets basically disappeared, never [clears throat] made it to the district attorney's office lends itself to the perception that phone calls were made after that stop and that the state police violated state law in making those tickets disappear. >> To be clear, >> the fact that there is a traffic law called driving left of center or failure to activate your turn signal or your license plate light was not properly illuminated, the fact that there's any of those laws shows you that this can't possibly be in any way, shape or form the land of the free, home of the brave because all of these pretextual stops give that cop the justification to trample your right to be secure in your person, and in violation of their own oath to protect and defend the Constitution, that same Constitution that they just violated against all enemies foreign and domestic while they become the very domestic enemies they swore to protect us from. >> "We've not seen any evidence showing anyone made phone calls about this case." Goyeneche says, "Troopers take an oath to uphold all laws in Louisiana, and that is >> the problem. They take an oath to uphold all laws, including constitutional laws, but the problem is most of these, if not all of these traffic laws, are a violation of the Constitution, a violation of the Bill of Rights, a violation of the Fourth Amendment right. It's not just It's not a right granted to you by government, so it can't be a right legitimately taken away by government. It's an unalienable right that doesn't need a Constitution to exist. You have it because you're a human being. >> includes this one that mandates a court be the one to dismiss tickets and no one else. And when laws like this one are ignored, he says someone needs to be held accountable. >> The state police and every law enforcement agency is an agency that is constructed upon public trust. Anytime you don't follow the law, you don't follow your policies and procedures, impose consequences on the people that work for that organization that don't follow those rules and procedures, you're set yourself up for undermining public confidence in everything your agency does. >> The The public should not be confident that there are roving band of road pirates out there ready to economically terrorize you under the color of traffic law. There should be no confidence in that. As a matter of fact, we should soundly reject that as a society. In any just society who's thinking straight, who hasn't been propagandized or indoctrinated by the 15,000 hour public fool indoctrination program is thinking clearly and understands that all tickets it's just a policing for profit revenue generating road pirate scheme. >> Those are sentiments echoed by long-time state lawmaker C. Denise Marcelle. >> The general public can't have tickets just to go away. >> Who has pushed for more accountability at Louisiana State Police Henry. >> But the general public should have these tickets go away. As a matter of fact, they shouldn't have these tickets appearing on the horizon and landscape of the home of the brave land of the free anyway. This isn't land of the free home of the brave. This is the land of the fee, the home of the slave. Only a plantation master would treat a slave like this and that's what happens. You have these cop cars all over the place emblazoned with the motto and the slogan to protect and serve. They're doing the exact office opposite. They're not serving and protecting, they're harassing and collecting. And that means land of the fee, home of the slave. >> since years. >> Community understands that there's a different level for them as it is for people who know people. I think that people know that, but to see it in your face is a little different. >> We requested on-camera interviews with state police about the story, but they declined only giving us that written response that we referenced in this report. >> Well, of course they're not going to answer it. And yeah, it is true. It's rules for thee and not for me from the viewpoint of the law enforcement officer. So yes, there's hypocrisy on the one side, but there's mass acceptance of roadside tyranny on the other side. Let me know what you guys think.
